Club president Jan Hellyer said the event on Sunday was all about encouraging new members to join the club. “We thought it was another successful event this year after six to eight new members decided to join the club,” she said. Ms Hellyer said it was great to see new members enter the club, joining around 50 other members on Wednesdays and Sundays for training. “New members are always welcome on a weekly basis,” Ms Hellyer said. “Our next major event will be the obedience and ability trials in October and will involve the introduction of a new form of obedience known as rally.” Ms Hellyer said life member Ian Mallard attended the open day and demonstrated to members the art of “rally”. “It is a relatively new aspect of dog obedience and most of our new members are still getting accustomed to it,” she said. “Although ‘rally’ is somewhat a new aspect of dog obedience, we are seeing it take off rapidly and it has become increasingly popular.” The committee is planning a fun day to be held later in the year. Ms Hellyer said new members were always welcome. The Blue Lake Obedience Dog Club meets on Wednesday and Sunday at 9.30am on the Hastings Cunningham Reserve. SPECIAL GUEST: Blue Lake Obedience Dog Club life member Ian Mallard was on hand during the open day to demonstrate to dog owners the special art of “rally”, which has now become a popular obedience activity among dog owners across the state.
